Chapter 202: Demon Moth
When Chen Jingxing returned to the political hall, Liu Mengyan was holding the written document to see Wang Entropy, and the two discussed it for a long time, and they got the reward he asked to see. And the expression of the former when he walked in made both of them very strange, and something happened again?
"The lower official has seen Pingzhang, and he will stay with the prime minister."
Because Liumengyan was here, Chen Jingxing solemnly greeted them, Wang Entropy looked at him, his hands were empty, and it didn't look like there was something hidden in his sleeve, and Yuan Ren accepted the contract? Then why is he bothered?
"Chen Shangshu has worked hard all the way, and he can return it to Shun, and the Yuan people didn't delay it for any reason."
"That's not true, it's just that they made a strange request, and the lower officials can't make the decision, so they can only come back first and inform the prime minister that they know."
Sure enough, there are still demon moths, these Yuan people are insatiable and very difficult to get along with. Wang Entropy and Liu Mengyan glanced at each other, and there was a faint worry in their hearts, even Chen Jingxing couldn't make the decision, what kind of strange request would it be? Why is Chen Jingxing's expression quite weird.
"That Lian Shangshu has a word, the contract can be exchanged, and there is no problem with delivery, but there must be one person in the prayer envoy of my Great Song Dynasty to the capital of the Yuan people."
"Who?"
"Liu Shizhi."
After hearing this, the two looked at each other, no wonder Chen Jingxing had such an expression. Liu Yu is the candidate for the chief official of the three states they have just determined, and he has not had time to inform him, and now that there is such a change, I really don't know if it is providence.
"Did Yuanren say the reason? Why do you have to go to Liu Ziqing. ”
"No, I just said that if we don't allow it, this agreement will not be established, and we will have to start talking again as soon as we get started."
Chen Jingxing's words silenced the two of them, this is a naked threat, which shows that the Yuan people are fearless and determined to win. Wang Entropy thought that why they wanted Liu Yu to go, the so-called prayer envoy was just a trip, bringing the negotiated peace treaty to the capital of the Yuan people and presenting it to their emperor as a sign of respect.
Is there any risk associated with this work? In the past, the Jin people had not detained many envoys, although they rarely killed them, but they must have been enemy countries, and who was willing to go on a trip for no reason. Now the question is, if Da Song only has this one choice, will Liu Yu agree?
Liu Mengyan smiled bitterly, this kid and the court are estimated to be really impulsive, except for the deputy envoy of the peace council who has not yet been unloaded, what do you mention or not, but there is no one who has not been smooth, what point does Yuan Ren like about him?
"Jing Xing, you said last time that on the last day of the peace conference, it was Liu Yu who reminded you to add Jiangzhou?"
"Back to Pingzhang's words, yes, and Xia Guan noticed that before this, he talked about something with the person surnamed Lian in the pavilion, and after that, the person surnamed Lian was like a different person, and he no longer fought against us."
Chen Jingxing was very impressed by that time, and he asked why afterwards, but Liu Yu didn't say much. Since the results were good, he didn't delve into it, and now that he thinks about it, will it have anything to do with that meeting?
"Pingzhang is worried that Yuan Ren did it on purpose, so Liu Ziqing is not"
Liu Mengyan didn't say the last two words, how could Wang Entropy not think of it. But knowing that the Yuan people have said so, do they still have a choice, if the talks really collapse, do they have to ask for their jobs as promised before?
"In that case, Jing Xing, you go to Liu's mansion, he is mostly at home, let me know first, if he is willing, then it is the best."
This decision is difficult to make, Liu Ziqing still has Ye Fu behind him, if he is really unwilling, it is a big deal to resign, no one can help it, but he has to give it a try, only Chen Jingxing is the most suitable candidate.
"Han Fu, the old man wants to enter the palace to face the saint, you and Quan will consider the affairs of the three states again, choose a suitable person to come out, and you and I will work hard in the eventful season."
The two of them took the messenger and walked away, they both knew that Wang Entropy had left the most difficult task to himself, and the saint had always valued him, and it was not an easy matter to persuade her to agree.
"Pingzhang, shoulder over there."
Walking out of the door of the political hall, today's sky is a little gloomy, and the sky is stacked with stratus clouds, and there is a smell of "mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings". Wang Entropy walked up to the path to Ciyuan Palace, not caring that those honor guards were still in another place.
"Come and follow two people, the rest don't have to move, the old man won't sit today."
There is no sun, walking, and by the way, he also thought about what to say, what he is most afraid of is that the saint is a woman after all, if he is stubborn and insists on going his own way, the consequences will be out of control.
Liu's house, located in Xingqingfang, opened the door early in the morning and cleaned from the front yard to the back yard. Who didn't know that there would be a distinguished guest, this is the sister-in-law of the Duke of Xinguo, and the brother of the mistress of the mansion, so all the family members and daughters-in-law were gathered and prepared to welcome the guests.
Sun Qi was wearing a new tuft of caftan today, and it was the first time he participated in such an event, and he was slightly nervous. Fortunately, everyone saw the importance that the master of the mansion valued him, and he was not too embarrassed, of course, there was still jealousy of a new person who suddenly ascended to a high position.
"It's coming, it's coming."
It wasn't far from Yefu to here, and when I went out there, the news had already come back, and the people in the front yard hurriedly lined up according to their identities, and Sun Qi, the new steward, also stood by the old housekeeper's side. With the sound of horses' hooves, a few horsemen turned around from the mouth of the alley, and the young man in front wore a brocade robe and a gold crown, a jade-faced little Langjun!
"Old Chen, your hands and feet are quite neat."
Waiting for him to restrain the horse, Sun Qi and the old housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward, one grabbed the head of the horse and the other helped the horse to come down, Ye Yingyou naturally knew this old man of Yefu, and greeted him with a smile.
"This upside-down student, a new entrant."
"Back to the second son, the little Sun Qi has just entered the mansion."
In a blink of an eye, he found that he didn't know the horse, Ye Yingyou asked casually, Sun Qi tied the horse to the stone, and replied with a bow.
"Eye-catching, Brother Yu'er?"
"It's also a big lady."
"Well answered, I'll reward you."
Ye Yingyou laughed, took off a piece of jade pendant on his waist and threw it over, the jade was crystal clear and wet, Sun Qi almost slipped out of his hand, but he also knew that he couldn't quit at this time, so he hurriedly thanked him again.
A small temptation, Ye Yingyou immediately found that this person is indeed extraordinary, for the first time to see the distinguished guest, he should deal with it decently, that is, not flattering or rude, he was not arrogant or boring when he got a heavy gift, his face was peaceful, maybe he had read a book and could recognize the words, and he suddenly looked a little higher.
"Second brother!"
As soon as he stepped into the backyard gate, a figure flew over, Ye Yingyou only felt a strong attack, the girl was not only much faster, but also a lot more powerful, he almost didn't stand still, it seemed that his body was also tall, and it had exceeded his jaw.
"Thirteenth sister, you have cleared it."
Jing Niang raised her head, her eyes were shining, and her face was still so exquisite, but compared with before she got married, she was less cute and more charming. Ye Yingyou sighed in his heart, the little girl who chased him and played for an hour had grown up! She is no longer the only man who protects her.
And in Jing Niang's eyes, this brother has also changed a lot, his original fair face has darkened, and he has lost weight, but he looks stronger, and the experience of many days is still fruitful, and she is happy in her heart.
"Your husband has not returned to the yamen?"
Holding her sister's hand, Ye Yingyou took her directly to the stone bench in the courtyard to sit down, there is no hall in the courtyard, you can't go directly to someone's inner room, even if it is very rude for her brothers and sisters.
"I'm on business, and I won't be back until tomorrow."
"That's a bit unfortunate, Daddy asked me to bring some words to him."
"Oh, it turned out that I didn't look at me specifically, and it hurt people to express their wrong feelings, the time is not early, second son, please."
Jing Niang pretended to be angry, her little mouth was very cute, Ye Ying hadn't seen her sister's appearance for a long time, she smiled when she heard this, and reached out and pressed her head.
"Don't talk about that guy, look at the back, it's all for you. Some are entrusted by your mother, some are your sister-in-law, and there are letters from your mother. ”
The mother's letter was not long, it was full of instructions, and she read it at a glance and let people put it away. At this time, Tingchao brought a few little girls to serve them tea and snacks, and Ye Ying took a look at this talented woman.
"Is he good to you? I took her. ”
"Good."
Jing Niang specially added an extra word to highlight it, so as not to make them feel that they were perfunctory, because this must have been asked by her mother, she didn't want anyone to misunderstand her husband, even the closest person.
"My mother stuffed in four at once, and now she is here for nothing, so I don't have to delay others. Second brother, who do you want to fancy, take it away today, I wrote to my mother and said, don't worry, it's all complete. ”
"Poof!" Ye Yingyou was so frightened by her words that he sprayed a mouthful of tea on the ground, if he really took one home according to his sister's words, the lady would not make trouble with him, but I was afraid that she would not be able to go to her bed in the future.
"Don't hurt me, be careful that I sue your sister-in-law and let her come to you to settle accounts."
The embarrassment of the brother made Jing Niang cover her mouth and smile, her sister-in-law is actually a very gentle and virtuous person, not like there in his mouth at all, the two of them are also very affectionate after marriage, for which Jing Niang was once jealous, but now of course there is no shadow.
The time with my brother passed quickly, Jing Niang recalled a lot of things when he was a child, and the laughter in the yard made the girls in the courtyard breathe a sigh of relief, who didn't know that as long as Lang Jun was not at home, the lady's face would be gone, and she was finally happy today.
At this moment, a report came from the front yard, and Chen Jingxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came to visit, this person Jing Niang heard from Liu Yu's mouth, he was the boss of the peace trio, and he came to the meeting for official business? The two ended chatting, and Jing Niang ordered to meet him in the front living room.
"Not there? You can know when to return. ”
Chen Jingxing asked a little anxiously after hearing what she said, which made Jing Niang very strange, it stands to reason that when he heard that the man in the house was not there, the other party should say goodbye, why does this Chen Shangshu seem to have to wait?
"Dare to ask, but is there business? My husband will have to go out for two or three days before he returns, if it is urgent, you might as well talk to the slave first. ”
"You? Anyway, when your family waits back, please tell me, the matter of peace, Yuan Ren has other requirements, he has to do it, Chen still has important things, so he will leave first. ”
"Chen Shangshu, why do you have to him?"
Before Chen Jingxing could take a step, a male voice stopped him, and when he turned his head, it was not Liu Yu, but a younger man.
"Who is this?"
"Xiao Keye should have, my father believes in Guogong, this is the sister of so-and-so."
"It turned out to be the second son of the Xinguo Mansion, disrespectful and disrespectful, since it is a family, it doesn't hurt to say it. Yuan Ren named Liu Ziqing as a prayer envoy, otherwise he would not exchange an appointment, you persuade him, and he will leave first. ”
Chen Jingxing left in a hurry, the main master was not there, of course he would not waste time here, Ye Yingyou looked at his figure thoughtfully, and Jing Niang was at a loss, what is a prayer? Looking at the girl's puzzled eyes, he turned his heart sideways, and he would know sooner or later anyway.
"As a messenger, I went to the capital of the Yuan people, and waited for their emperor to approve it, and this peace treaty was counted, thirteen sisters"
Before she finished speaking, Jing Niang felt that her eyes were dark, and the person had fallen, Ye Yingyou hurriedly reached out to support her and put her on the chair. After a while, she woke up slowly, her eyes a little hollow, until she found her brother and grabbed his hand.
"Second brother, please, go back and tell your father and ask him for an idea."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll leave today, no, I'll leave now, you must take care, everything has Daddy and me."
Ye Yingyou was frightened by his sister's expression, and knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he could only go on a run by himself and wait for his figure to disappear. Jing Niang had already stood up from the chair with her hands propped up, and since her brother was gone, she naturally couldn't be idle.
"Come on, prepare to serve the carriage and horses, I want to enter the palace."
